The Country Girl Arrives On Broadway

Posted on April 27, 2008

The new all-star Broadway revival of Clifford Odets's The Country Girl opened on Broadway tonight at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre. The production, which is directed by Mike Nichols, stars Morgan Freeman as a washed up stage actor, Frances McDormand as his wife, and Peter Gallagher as a big shot director. This is the play's second Broadway revival, the first having been in 1972; The Country Girl was first produced on Broadway in 1950.
